 |
COLD OPEN | Telly introduces today's sponsors as some kids reveal them from under scarves. He also lifts a scarf to reveal his right arm, which is finally out of its cast! He gives Jonathan a handshake, but finds it's a little difficult to do... |
  |
SCENE 1 | Big Bird gives a demonstration of "same" and "different" with Telly's help. Both of Telly's arms are the same in a few ways - they both have fuchsia fur, elbows, and fingers. They are also different because Telly broke his right arm a few weeks ago and it's been in a cast up until now, so it's not as strong as his left arm; he demonstrates and has difficulty when picking up a brick. His arms will be the same in every way eventually, but for now, Big Bird points out another difference: his de-casted arm is getting its own party today! Confetti and balloons fall as the kids arrive with noisemakers and horns to celebrate. |
